Lawrence, I've no doubt you are correct and the current resident/owner, Mrs S. Humphreys, serves on the Alveley & Romsley Parish Council. That said, she may know a little more about the property and its previous occupiers, and being on the Parish Council, is probably used to receiving unsolicited mail, so why not drop her a line, Geoff? No harm in asking. The full address can be found in this doument:- http://www.2shrop.net/live/images/cme_resources/Groups/g171A69B9-FB91-45C1-9408-6DF3DF787936/Documents%202010/parisj%20contact%20details/20102/PARISH-DATABASE.xls I'm somewhat further away than you, Lawrence, on the island of Crete!
